ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA “LE MANS” – YELLOW GOLD 126528LN One...
ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA “LE MANS” – YELLOW GOLD 126528LN
One of the most exclusive and coveted contemporary versions of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Reference 126528LN “Le Mans” translates the configuration created by Rolex to commemorate the centenary of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans into 18-karat yellow gold, while retaining several exclusive elements that clearly distinguish it from a conventional Daytona. Phillips documents this yellow gold variant and notes its particularly discreet distribution, outside of Rolex's usual public catalog.
Its 40 mm Oyster case in 18-karat yellow gold is combined with a black Cerachrom bezel and tachymeter scale. The most distinctive detail is the number “100” highlighted in red, a direct reference to the Le Mans centenary.
The black dial features three contrasting white counters and an aesthetic inspired by the historic “Paul Newman” dials, recognizable by the graphic design of its subdials. But its true mechanical singularity lies in the counter at 9 o'clock: instead of the usual 12 hours of the Daytona, it allows for timing up to 24 hours, an unmistakable nod to the duration of the Le Mans race.
To make this possible, Rolex equips this reference with the automatic caliber 4132, a specific evolution of the movement in the current generation of the Daytona. The piece also features a transparent sapphire crystal case back, allowing a view of the movement, another exceptional characteristic within the Daytona family.
All of this is complemented by an Oyster bracelet crafted entirely in 18 ct yellow gold, giving the watch a particularly striking presence and making this reference one of the most unique modern interpretations of the Daytona.
